How soon do you wrap presents to put under the tree?

I haven't started wrapping yet so there's nothing beneath my tree and my mom's giving me grief about it, telling me there should be gifts under it the whole time it's there, until Christmas is over and everything has been handed out and opened.

What do you think? Do you wrap presents to put under the tree as soon as you put the tree up? Do you wait until closer to Christmas to do them? Or do you just play it by ear and add some as you go?

I usually wrap gifts and have them under the tree the day after the tree is up but this year they aren't going under the tree until Christmas Eve bc I have my parents dog right now and she is a paper shredding machine so she will open all the gifts lol

I had major surgery on Oct. 30th & wasn't sure how recovery was going to be (or if I'd even come out alive) so I had the tree up, presents wrapped & everything on Oct. 29th.

Now I feel stupid because I was fine like 3 weeks later but I really didn't know what to expect, especially with a 6 week recovery time frame. But had something gone wrong, I know SO hates Christmas trees & probably wouldn't have put it up or wrapped the presents. I wanted it to all be done for DS, just in case.

We just wrapped yesterday.. but they are not under our tree.. we have a 2 year old and think it would be less tempting to tear them open if she doesn't see them! But after she goes to bed Christmas eve night we will put them out! ;)
